I was elected to a Simon Research Fellowship at the University of Manchester in October 2005. Previously, I completed my PhD at the school of Geographical Sciences in the University of Bristol. I also taught undergraduate and postgraduate modules in the Department of Politics during this four year period. In July 2005, I joined CCSR as a research assistant. For the past year, I have been working on a research project (funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation) with Professor Ed Fieldhouse examining electoral registration and turnout in South Asian communities at the 2001 general election.

Research Interests

I am joint co-ordinator of the Election, Political Parties and Political behaviour groups in CCSR as well as being a prominent member of the Social Statistics group. I am also an active member of the Political Studies Association and the elections’ specialist group ‘EPOP’ (Elections, Public Opinion and Parties). I am interested in various aspects of elections and methodology including:

  • Geographical and contextual effects in voting and attitudes
  • Modelling voter preferences and behaviour
  • Political engagement and participation
  • The Liberal Democrats in the UK
  • Comparative studies of voter turnout
  • Measuring area level effects using ecological and survey data, and multilevel modelling.
  • Experimental Methods
  • Social Networks

Projects

  • Electoral Registration and Turnout in South Asian communities in England and Wales at the 2001 General Election (Joseph Rowntree Foundation)
  • The 2005 British General Election (Electoral Commission)
  • Does Local Continuous Campaigning Really Matter? An Assessment of Liberal Democrat Activism at the 1999 Bath and North East Somerset Unitary Elections and 2001 General Election (PhD Thesis)
